Picked up the Midnight edition TF2 as my first RC4WD truck. Very fun so far. My question is the included ESC seems to have no drag brake whatsoever. Am I expecting too much of it? My other trucks have HobbyWing 1080’s, the Reedy 400 or 480X (Element RTR’s), and one OG SCX10 with a still functional Novak Rooster Crawler system - all being compared to the RC4WD unit. I have a HW 1080 in my toolbox drawer I could replace it with it, and just might for the 7.4V BEC and various settings to adjust, but wanted to make sure I’m not missing something first. Thanks all!

Do you have the external jumpers set right on the esc? Should be jumpers for lipo/nimh and drag brake.

| ![]() Yes, set for forward/reverse (in lieu of Fwd/brk/rev, or fwd/brk), and LiPo. Those are all the jumper settings it has. It makes me wonder if it really even has a drag brake. Because most do have a jumper dedicated to the drag brake.

| ![]() Mine has a drag brake, try just pulling the jumper out entirely for the brake, sometimes that makes it work, other than that it should work.

I'll keep that in mind. On this one you leave the jumper out to get the fwd/rev mode. It's strange.
